Powersoft UP 70 LV imparts a soft, drapable, and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics, making it useful in finishing systems where premium hand feel is required.
Powersoft UP 70 LV differs from many conventional silicone softeners because it does not strongly reduce hydrophilicity on cotton and other hydrophilic substrates under normal use conditions.

Powersoft UP 70 LV can be diluted with cold water to the desired concentration, which supports practical preparation of textile finishing baths.
Powersoft UP 70 LV dilutions are resistant to alkaline conditions up to pH 10, which gives formulators flexibility in many finishing processes.
Powersoft UP 70 LV can be combined with many optical brighteners, although compatibility should always be confirmed in the specific finishing formulation.

Powersoft UP 70 LV should be added under controlled mixing to avoid unnecessary foam, localized concentration, or poor bath uniformity.
Powersoft UP 70 LV should be protected from freezing, overheating, microbial contamination, and prolonged open storage because these factors can affect emulsion stability and performance.

FIRST AID

Inhalation:
Move to fresh air if mist, aerosol, or vapors are inhaled.
Seek medical attention if coughing, respiratory irritation, headache, dizziness, or breathing discomfort occurs.
Avoid further exposure until ventilation and mist control are confirmed.

Skin Contact:
Wash skin with soap and water after contact.
Remove contaminated clothing if necessary and wash before reuse.
Seek medical advice if irritation, redness, or dryness develops or persists.

Eye Contact:
Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes.
Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, then continue rinsing.
Seek medical attention if irritation or discomfort persists.

Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water.
Do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs or if a significant amount is swallowed.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Note to Physicians:
Treat symptomatically.
Monitor for irritation from silicone microemulsion, surfactants, or textile-finishing additives present in the formulation.
Provide supportive care as needed.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling:
Use appropriate PPE including gloves and safety glasses for bulk handling.
Avoid splashing, mist formation, and prolonged skin or eye contact.
Use clean equipment and controlled dilution procedures to maintain emulsion stability and uniform finishing performance.

Ventilation:
Use general ventilation for normal handling.
Use local exhaust ventilation where mist, aerosol, or spray exposure may be generated.
Avoid spraying or atomizing without adequate exposure control.

Storage:
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, frost-free, well-ventilated area.
Protect from freezing, excessive heat, direct sunlight, evaporation, and microbial contamination.
Keep away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong bases, and incompatible reactive chemicals.

Spill and Leak Procedures:
Contain spill with inert absorbent and prevent entry into drains and waterways.
Collect into suitable containers for reuse or disposal according to local regulations and facility procedures.
Clean residues with water if allowed by facility procedure because silicone/surfactant residues can create slippery surfaces.

Handling Precautions:
Control dilution order and mixing intensity because Powersoft UP 70 LV performance depends on stable bath preparation and uniform textile application.
Confirm compatibility with resins, salts, optical brighteners, dyes, and other auxiliaries because textile finishing bath composition can affect performance.
Rotate stock using FIFO practices to maintain consistent emulsion stability, odor profile, dilution behavior, and softening performance.
